greenace92 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Hello, I want to know first, how to start new pages or small windows Next, how to temporarily store data and then delete upon exit of chat so that memory can be saved How to embed objects like images (objects?) How to have resizable or set the size of input field for the message Show a sign like "person is typing" when other person is inputting data I'll probably get yelled at, I'm trying to amass all the information I need I'll research each subject as I accomplish a task Right now I could really use a download script that saves a photo, gets url of photo and searches the document for "By Name" and cuts out / stores the Name part and then renames the file with an increment of one, instead I have to do 300 clicks with my mouse. = ineptitude or ignorance That is theoretically the ideal case but I have to sift through photos, see which ones are good eg. face is covered by watermark Thanks for any help Edited December 3, 2014 by greenace92 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292855-building-simple-chat-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansford Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Here is a step-by-step tutorial: "Building a jQuery/PHP Powered Chat Room" http://css-tricks.com/jquery-php-chat/ Start with the basics and then when you have some working code, narrow down into a single question that is not overwhelming to tackle.

QuickOldCar Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 There is a version 2 for that http://css-tricks.com/chat2/ But why even bother since this is a horrible way to do it. Have a look at this link that explains some other methods such as sse (server side event),long polling, html5 websockets http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11077857/what-are-long-polling-websockets-server-sent-events-sse-and-comet Ratchet is a loosely coupled PHP library providing developers with tools to create real time, bi-directional applications between clients and servers over WebSockets. http://socketo.me/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292855-building-simple-chat-windows/#findComment-1498429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenace92 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Christ, how many cans of worms must I open? haha It's awesome though I have all the time in the world it seems Funny how harsh that cross out seems Okay... thank you for this It's a slow process, one thing at a time, I hope to make progress every single day which is what I have been doing these last couple of days until a few hours ago... ate a lot of food, sugar crash.... ehhh. Tea and rice or a can of tuna and mayo. Anyway this is fantastic, thank you again. I can't wait to have a finished product and boldly claim "That is mine, I made that, with my mind" hahaha Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292855-building-simple-chat-windows/#findComment-1498437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
